Anton Yelchin, actor best know for his role as Chekov in the Star Trek reboot passed away yesterday at 27 years old.Police are calling his death a freak accident. Anton was found by friends trapped between his vehicle and a security fence. Investigators believe, after he exited his vehicle, the car rolled backward pinning him between the two, the local corners office declared the official cause of death to be blunt traumatic asphyxia.

Geekknight is deeply sadden by this loss, and would like to extend it’s symphonies to his Anton’s family, friends, and fans around the world.Mr. Yelchin was taken way to young, and the world will be little less bright without him in it.

Thank you for all the joy you brought into this world, and Rest in Peace Anton.

Mister Scratch posted this image on tumblr today, and I found it a very nice tribute to Anton and the Start Trek allumnie that has passed on before him.
